Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2765174, member: 5798"] Donald D, Sometimes I agree with your takes, sometimes not. Personally, while I love that kind of talk, I expect her to go through the struggles all UConn freshmen women go through regardless of the confidence she may have at this point. I find her confidence refreshing and exciting, and I hope it never wanes. I would rather hear [I]positive[/I] talk coming from her than any concerns of doubt she may have. As mature adults, and longtime fans and supporters of this program, we can understand the sometimes misguided or irrational exuberance of youth. In this case, I would never do or say anything to stifle or suffocate it. She's the one (not us) that's going to be in the gym learning Geno's system, and on the court trying to successfully integrate herself into it. As a UConn fan, this is exactly the kind of attitude and confidence I want not only our incoming freshmen to have, but the entire team as well. Who are we to say at this point she's misguided or disillusioned? Only time will tell whether her confidence is misguided or misplaced. If for some reason the rigors of practice and the daily grind of competition at this level cause her to lose it, I hope that at some point, she finds it again, embraces it and spreads it around to the rest of the team if they don't already have it. I suggested in another post yesterday that I can see Christyn becoming [B]the team leader[/B] (if Kyla Irwin does not step up) this time next year after Lou and Pheesa graduate. When I hear her talk, I see and hear some of the qualities that leaders have. To Christyn I would say..................................you go girl!!! ;) [/QUOTE]
